Pictures of Dirk Viljoen
Profile:A highly promising young all-rounder, much is expected of Dirk Viljoen, who earned a place in Zimbabwe's World Cup squad through some fine performances against England A in 1998-99. As a batsman, he has a very good technique and excellent footwork, enabling him to play both fast and spin bowling equally well. When bowling, he has a good variation of pace and loop, with a good arm ball. He is also able to bowl the chinaman. He is a true all-rounder with sustainable credentials as both batsman and bowler. Zimbabwe's young cricketer of the year in 1996-97, he has gained valuable experience in the Australian Cricket Academy. (DL 1999)
